Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Near Fresno? I have tons of relatives in Fresno. It is hot there. My grandmother used to come down (I grew up in L.A.) from Fresno for three months every summer and stay with us b/c it was so hot there (and to give my aunt, who she lived with, a break).

Kadesha (fergz) | 3 comments Hi, I'm Kadesha. I live on an island in the Caribbean, Grenada. I have been obsessed with reading since i read my first book and romance is one of my favourite genres. one of my favorite authors is Julie Garwood.


message 267: by Lina (new)

Lina | 5563 comments Welcome Kadesha! I'm just getting back into Julie Garwood now! I loved Guardian Angel, which is your favourite?


message 268: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (last edited Aug 08, 2011 08:47AM) (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Hi, Kadesha! I thought I'd do "re-read" of some of Julie Garwood's books via audiobooks. I can't believe the wait list on them at the library. Still waiting for The Prize by Julie Garwood to become available.


message 269: by Kadesha (new)

Kadesha (fergz) | 3 comments i read almost all of the books but my favourite so far is Mercy. I am currently trying to finish the buchanan clayborne series.

Laura Landon (lauralandon) | 55 comments Welcome, Kadesha! Glad to have you with us! I'm a Julie Garwood lover, too! I cried when she quit writing historicals and switched to contemporary. (Although they're good, too)


message 271: by Kadesha (new)

Kadesha (fergz) | 3 comments i loved the historicals and was also disappointed when i read all. i still re read them sometimes


message 272: by Megan (new)

Megan | 1285 comments Welcome Kadesha! I actually have yet to read any Julie Garwood books.

Welcome Kadesha!!!


message 277: by Kristi (new)

Kristi (kristicasey) Oh I agree, I love Garwood. I still remember the 1st title of hers that I read. It was something with the lion in the title. I think it was Lion's Lady. Ok, so my memory isn't as great as it should be. ha ha!


message 278: by Laura (new)

Laura Landon (lauralandon) | 55 comments Oh, yes! Great book! The Lion's Lady (Crown's Spies, #1) by Julie Garwood


message 279: by Lisa Kay, Moderator (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments The Lion's Lady (Crown's Spies, #1) by Julie Garwood Yes, wonderful book! I love the scene where Christina has her old butler remove the Lyon's shoes from the house in order to "divorce" him. What a hoot! I even put it in my GoodReads review if you want to read it. LOL!

Good idea, Lisa Kay! I bet she could do it! With a sense of style!

Alix (alacrity15) | 4 comments Hi! My name is Alix and I just joined good reads. I'm a voracious reader (particularly romance) who has recently gotten into a reading rut. I had heard good things about this site and thought joining a group with a challenge might help me get back in the game. Favorite authors are Gabaldon, Brockway, Cole and so many others.

Mary (parker128) | 1 comments Hi Everybody, I'm new to GoodReads. I love a good romance novel. I've been reading them ever since The Scarlet Pimpernel in 7th grade.
Kristi, my romance faves are Nora Roberts and Janet Evanovich too. I live near "The Berg" that Evanovich writes about in NJ. My favorite Nora Roberts is The Fall of Shane MacKade. Don't ask me why. It just works every time.
I also love the Outlander series (except the last 2). RI and Michelle, I also love Julia Quinn.
I am open to trying new books. I'm glad to see some romance writers on here. I've started several of my own. Let me know if you'd like to start a writers group.
I am so excited to find your group here. I read thru all the intros and I will try to go thru the other threads to catch up.
